I'm glad you liked the line up alison. I last saw John Noakes on TV last year. He was hosting the Blue Peter 40th anniversary I think. But I also saw a magazine article about him. He had been round the world in his own boat and been shipwrecked. He was also saying how his departure from BP was less than friendly - there was some legal wrangle over the ownership of Shep apparently.
By the way - I think I'd also add Johnny Morris (the hot chestnut man) to my band. He'd be at the back with a disco deck making those scratchy noises with the records. I don't know what that's called.
